A Human Resources Information System (HRIS) is a platform that centralises employee data, automates admin-heavy tasks and provides HR teams with reports and analytics for better decision-making. For mid-sized organisations with 200-1,000 employees, an HRIS like Personio acts as the single system of record, connecting HR data, workflows, analytics and preliminary payroll.

Organisations that use Sage 50 or Xero can integrate them directly with Personio for a streamlined flow of data, or provide the export file to a local payroll provider for processing.
